1994ref. 83066Turner Publishing 1994. 2nd Printing. Very Good condition. Pearl Harbor Survivors: An Oral History of 24 Servicemen a 50th”anniversary edition - here's a breakdown of what the book is what it covers and what to look for: ✅ What the book is • This book takes the form of an oral history - that is it presents the personal accounts of 24 U.S. servicemen who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. • It is organized by the locations or ships where the men were stationed at the time of the attack and includes their firsthand memories of what they experienced during and after the attack. 🎯 What it covers / what you'll find inside • Detailed personal recollections: Each survivor describes what they saw heard and experienced during the attack and its immediate aftermath - including the confusion the explosions ship damage burning oil in the harbor and rescue or survival efforts. • Context and background: While focused on the personal stories the book also offers general information about the attack on Pearl Harbor ships involved timeline damage to orient the reader. • Insight into survival: It doesn't just document the event in theory - the emphasis is on how individuals lived through it coped with it and often how they responded afterward in war in life. • Good for history buffs those studying WW2 naval operations or people interested in first”person testimony rather than a high”level strategic history. Why this is a meaningful book • It preserves the voices of men who witnessed a pivotal moment in U.S. history - the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor which led to the U.S. entering World War II. • First”person narrative adds depth and humanity to the historical event: you get a sense of what it was like on the ground or at sea or on the deck rather than simply reading statistics. • It is especially useful for anyone interested in survivor testimony military/naval history or the human side of war.

ref. PJH55600Editions Plasma 1978. Ownership Signature of Roger Cardinal on endpaper Near Fine in publishers wrappers. Illustrated throughout. Attractive Facsimile of title first published in 1950. Roger Cardinal was one of BritainÕs most distinguished art historians best known for defining what is generally known as Outsider Art - that is art by people with no formal training. He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba Canada subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship. Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art 1972 German Romantics in Context 1975 Figures of Reality 1981 Expressionism 1984 The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash 1989 The Cultures of Collecting 1994 and Kurt Schwitters 2011. He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications. CardinalÕs interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse psychotic uneducated autistic self-taught and ÔotherÕ. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wlfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at ChristieÕs auctioneers ran quite contrary to CardinalÕs thinking.
